The Turtle Beneath the Sea — Jātaka MindVibes, Track 4 🐢🌊

A lullaby for overworked nervous systems. Ocean-soft swells, low flute and a gentle hum invite you to sink, not fight—the turtle way. Use it for pre-sleep rituals, post-overwhelm resets, or whenever your brain insists 2 a.m. is ideal for life planning.

Not for driving or heavy machinery. This one wins bedtime.

How to use (pick one)
	•	Breathwork for sleep: 4-7-8 — inhale 4, hold 7, exhale 8 (optional soft hum on the out-breath).
	•	PMR (progressive muscle relaxation): Toes → calves → thighs → belly → chest → hands → arms → shoulders → face. Clench 3 seconds, release.
	•	Grounded “float”: Place one hand on belly, one on chest; feel the hands rise and fall like waves.

Best moments

Pre-sleep • After a hard day • Post-panic come-down • Sunday scaries • When your thoughts are tap-dancing in steel-toed boots.

60-second micro-script

Lights dim. Phone exiled.
Inhale 1-2-3-4… hold 1-2-3-4-5-6-7… exhale 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (hum if you like).
Unclench jaw. Tongue rests.
Toes curl/release… calves… thighs… belly soft.
Whisper: “Nothing to fix. Just float.”
One more long exhale. Let sleep find you.

Story thread

A timid turtle teaches the village: safety isn’t always running—sometimes it’s sinking into still water until the storm passes. Rest as strategy, not surrender.

On the road between Memphis & Bamako. The musical merger of Habib Koité and Eric Bibb brings together two soulful histories into a never-before heard guitar sound that is passionate and ebullient. Growing up in Mali, West Africa, Koité is heir to an ancestral knowledge set to song that places him among the most influential voices of contemporary Africa, while Bibb’s lineage in the traditional blues sound has produced an earthy mix of folk and gospel dating back to the work songs of the deep south. Forging a bridge across the Atlantic, Bibb and Koité are two talents too exhilarating to ignore.

This tune is taken from the album: Brothers In Bamako.
